The autocomplete function provides a full place name - "Paris, Texas, United States", "Paris, Ile de France, France".

The advanced search requires a simple placename - "Paris" - and will include results from both places.

It also matches partial placenames. A search for "York" will match "New York" and "North Yorkshire"

So the two functions are not compatible.

We could either:

1) change the search to use full place names. 2) create a new autocomplete that only provides the simple name.
